And of course, there’s Starbucks. Many stand-alone stores will be open, though often with shorter hours. They’re the digital nomad’s best friend, even on December 25th.
Need a place to escape your relatives for fifteen minutes? Grab a grande peppermint mocha and hide in a corner. It’s your emergency me-time station. The baristas are in holiday mode, but they understand your need for caffeine-fueled sanity.
Just remember to tip well. These folks are working instead of opening presents, so a little extra generosity goes a long way. A $5 bill can turn your holiday coffee run into a small redemption story.
